OK, I don't think I could love the ending of Starfleet Academy ep 4 any harder. The whole episode is all of what makes this series great, but the effort put into to understanding perspective is what's making the Great Bird of the Galaxy give it a chef's kiss. That's what Trek is all about.

#NowWatching: I've always been more of a Twilight Zone guy; I've been watching episodes of that at bedtime when I should be reading instead. But since I can't seem to get into gaming lately, I think it's time to acquaint myself with this worthy series too.

Sorry, BSky, this is precisely why I'll never read your Substack, and I'll probably block you if you promote it.
Again, no serious organization, politician, or journalist should join Substack in 2026.
I'll give grace to those who were on Substack in its early, pre-mask-off days and those who don't already have a platform, but the best time to leave the Nazi bar was yesterday and the second-best time is now.

Wellp we now have FBI files of reports that Trump SAd adolescents before trafficking them to billionaires while his family looked on. And about this news our elected officials are doing...? Waiting for the even worse news still being hidden? And what about his enablers and cohorts? Too big to fail?

Morning Thought: So much mess going on. So much. An overwhelming amount of shit raining down. Be good to yourself. Protect yourself. Be aware, but insulate yourself. Get sleep. Exercise. Read books. Take walks in the fresh air. Care for family/friends/neighbors. MOC on speed dial. Daily. Pressure.

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed:
“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”
“The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”
I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

Staff across the city told NOTUS how their lives have changed since the start of the federal immigration operation. “It's frightening,” one said.

Maybe if we just start saying that every billionaire is a pedophile (how far off are we, really?) and every trillionaire-wannabe is a pedophile who even pedophiles don't want to hang with, then perhaps it won't be such a desirable social class?

a few streets had these today and they were usually in spots where ice has been known to drive by pretty frequently so this is essentially creating a citizen checkpoint to monitor for them it rocks a lot
Minneapolis is trying out new forms of resistance. They're doing pop-up blockade block parties. This one is on Cedar and 34th, a main route into the city. They have a stereo, food & a fire. MPD is present but not interfering. Lots of honks of support. ICE agents have been reported detouring around.

#StarTrek is trending and I'm afraid to look why but I have to say for as assholishly as I went into Star Trek Academy to hate-watch, I begrudgingly admit they really did a wonderful job by every metric: storyline, cast, hyperfuturistic look, old-Trek nostalgia and sensibilities, etc.
